Abilene - cover (piano version)

OK, so this is my first music video on youtube, I hope you'll like it. More videos will follow. Feel free to write any comments :) The original songname is "Abilene", but I know it as "Abeline" - that's why "Abeline" is in the video subtitles.

Should you ask for sheets: I don't have any, because I learned this song by myself. The middle part is even my own invention, because I wanted to make the song a bit longer and more interesting.

The keyboard is a Casio WK-500.

Some background information: Abilene is a 1963 song originally recorded by George Hamilton IV. Written by Bob Gibson and John D. Loudermilk, it reached number one on the country music charts for four weeks, and peaked at number 15 on the pop music charts.

great video!

and where do you purchase the sustain pedal? i'm looking to buy this keyboard for coffehouse performances i do in which there is no piano available so i have to bring in a keyboard. my old one just broke and i'm looking to buy this one. i just want to make sure it has a sustain pedal and that it is possible to plug an amplifier into it. does it have these two features?

@bobbymolinarimusic Thanks. I bought the sustain pedal in a german shop many years ago, I guess the shop's name was Thomann. Nowadays it should be no problem to get one. But Casio has another polarity than Yamaha, so be sure to buy the right one, or (as I did) one with a polarity switch.

This keyboard has kind of line-out connector, I ususally connect my PC with it (into line-in of the soundcard), so there should be no problem to connect an amplifier as well.

hello this is a great video of the casio wk500 ... u really make this keyboard sound great lol. im very curious , does this kebard have any brass effects at all? please let me know , and can you hook a talk box up to it?

@cutthroat559 Thanks. I don't know what you mean by brass "effects". If you mean "brass instruments" - this keyboard has approx. 40 of them. This is a rather average keyboard, nothing special about it, but it's very worth the price.

that recording was of incredible (any better synonym?) sound quality. absolutely beautiful!

Is it easy to put the keyboard on reverb / how is it done?

[jpAmarok]

thanks

it's quite easy, on this keyboard it can be done with the "function" button and then there is something like reverb, is slightly increased the value, but not much - the nice stereo sound is due to the built-in instrument (extra-stereo piano), and btw I'm using a sustain pedal
